Ques: Installation of Vorsteiner Products

Hello all,

Thinking about purchasing the Vorsteiner Rear Diffuser and Front Spoiler.

Just wondering how hard these are to install, or if I should take it to a panel shop.

I think the front should be the easiest of the two as there is not existing part to remove.

The big question I have is with the rear diffuser does the bumper need to come off to remove the existing diffuser?

Btw, I got a 2008 Sedan.

Thanks in advance.

Charlie

If you are handy enough def do a DIY. IMO vorsteiner isn't cheap so what's 50 bucks to have someone install it for you? Mine was actually done free for me by mb but I paid the 50 to install a prev cf diffuser

Just my 63 cents

I agree, though I do prefer to get my hands dirty when I can. I enjoy trying to do things on my own.

Will give it a go and if I dont have any luck I will take it down to my local dealer.

Thank you for all the responses, looks like its only a couple of screws so should be pretty easy.

There are some rivets securing the rear diffuser which you will need to drill out. Vorsteiner provides replacement screws with their diffuser. The diffuser in the coupe is secured slightly different to the sedan. I agree it is fun trying to do things on your own as long as you don't stuff it up!! Good luck.

Awesome Tim, let's have a Vorsteiner crew meet.. Jason ur not welcomed ... Yet! Lol

Back on topic, installing a diffuser is easy.. Removing the oem is tricky w/o breaking the clips.. That thing is on tight!!

Thank you for all your help guys.

Have just ordered the diffuser, so have a couple of week wait for shipping to Australia then have a go at fitting this myself over the Christmas break.

Hi mate, just follow the first link below. I havent got mine yet so havent tried taking the rear diffuser off yet, but the first link shows it is 2 screws in the side and 2 in the middle bar.
